Ethnic cleansing is not self-defence. The fact that the ethnic cleansing is taking place shows that it was never, not once about self-defence. It is about colonising land and removing indigenous people to exploit a region’s resources β€” the same war crimes the US is built on.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or β€œcontroversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Oh man! That's a big deal! I haven't gotten through this book yet, I'll have to pick it up again. I had a gnarly colposcopy and leep procedure in my early 20s. Super traumatizing. πŸ«‚

Now that TikTok has officially gone dark, I’m re-upping my post from a few days ago to remind folks that this praise for Trump is wrong.
